Correct....

I was using the information from a previous post,

"no need for calculus.

Lets say you have all the bins in your zone and you have 2 robots on the platform.

lets let x equal stack height.
Now, scoring is the highest stack height * number of bins not in the stack. If you have all 45 bins, thats 45-x (the bins in the heighest stack). Additionaly, 50 for both robots on the platform.

x(45-x) + 50 = y

that expands to:

y = -x^2 + 45x + 50"

Using this you have to have all 45 bins. Using mine you can have any number of bins. Of course there is a down side, but its not hard to calculate it. The downside is having to count the boxes on both sides of the field. But if you change b2 to being 45-b1 then it becomes a little easier.

So assuming the same variables as I had before,

If: [a1(b1-a1)+c1] > [a2((45-b1)-a2)+c2]
Then: [a1(b1-a1)+c1] + 2*[a2((45-b1-a2)+c2] = your winning score

If: [a1(b1-a1)+c1] < [a2((45-b1)-a2)+c2]
Then: [a1(b1-a1)+c1] = your losing score

This is good for both QP and EP scoring, if I am reading the rules correctly.

I am trying to get the EPs all done right now too.
